Python 2.7 "leaks" a lot of memory at exit... ==18497== possibly lost: 5,665,418 bytes in 27,453 blocks ==18497== still reachable: 8,530,840 bytes in 57,856 blocks ... but the operating system releases the memory anyway when the process exit. Technically, it's not a major issue unless you embed Python into an application. But again, it's Python 2.7: I suggest to focus efforts in the master branch. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37329> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
